Observation Suggestion: During today’s classroom observation, staff in space # 5 created rich conversations with the children. She asked open ended questions like “Would you wear your clothes inside out or backwards to school? And if you win the lottery, would you like to get your money in one lump sum or a small amount every month. Continue to model positive and respectful ways of engaging children, by standing close to them, reflecting their emotions, and by responding to their attempts to communicate both verbally and nonverbally. Respectful language was used, such as addressing each child by their name and moments were taken to check-in with each child during activities to see how they were doing and what their needs are.

Box 641 Fayetteville, NC 28302 jennifer.a.strickland@dhhs.nc.gov Facility Specific Technical Assistant /Consultation/Reminders: Technical Assistance: During today’s visit I found asthma medication for one child that didn’t have a medication authorization on file. Please refer to Child Care Rule 10A NCAC 09 .0803 (1)(a). No prescription or over-the-counter medication and no topical, non-medical ointment, repellent, lotion, cream, fluoridated toothpaste, or powder shall be administered to any child: without written authorization from the child's parent. Observation Suggestion: During today’s classroom observation, staff in space # 5 created rich conversations with the children. She asked open ended questions like “Would you wear your clothes inside out or backwards to school? And if you win the lottery, would you like to get your money in one lump sum or a small amount every month. Continue to model positive and respectful ways of engaging children, by standing close to them, reflecting their emotions, and by responding to their attempts to communicate both verbally and nonverbally. Respectful language was used, such as addressing each child by their name and moments were taken to check-in with each child during activities to see how they were doing and what their needs are.
